When Treatment Cant Get In The Way of Your Career
Addiction is a cunning, baffling and powerful disease that affects people of all demographics. This includes people who are executives in business.
Many people feel immense shame and guilt for developing a substance abuse or addiction problem. However, these negative feelings are not logical or deserved. No one can predict who will become addicted and it does not require much exposure to mood and mind-altering substances to become addicted.
Many people who do become addicted equate their experience to wild fire or their mind being hijacked by the substance itself. This devastating mental illness affects nearly one in ten American adults, according to the CDC. With so many affected, no one should be reluctant to ask for help out of shame.
Whatever your drug of choice and story, you deserve the help you need to overcome the disease of addiction’s vicious symptoms.
You may feel more comfortable in a setting that caters to executives and business professionals. Much of addiction treatment requires open communication and learning from the experiences of others. This may be more difficult if you are in treatment with people with which you have little in common.
